"Winter"

"Winter" brings up thoughts of quiet contemplation, poetry, snuggling my puppy by the fire -- but tomorrow is Christmas, and it's hard to ignore the thought that my day will be noisy and happy as I spend the day with friends and adopted family. (Thanks Mary Lou!) My kin are scattered to the winds this year, and I don't mind as long as they are finding happiness and laughter too.

This has been a hard year for me in some ways, but it's also been a year of rediscovering old friends, making new friends, and I'm grateful for it. To everyone, wishing you a very merry Christmas and a happy new year!!!

Please remember my friends Korki and Geof in your prayers. Geof started chemotherapy this week for liver cancer after resting from an aortic valve replacement. I would like to be able to list my gratitude for his recovery next year at this time. Thanks!

    Hey Linda! Hope you had a merry Christmas. I don't have a lot of time for visiting this week...or next, but I did want to stop by my favorite people. :o) Love your snowmen! Have a happy New year and I'm keeping Geof in my prayers.

    Thanks, and thanks for your prayers! It's been a busy week for me too, so I haven't been able to do as much visiting as usual either. Wishing much happiness to everyone in the new year!!!
